WireGuard guide
WireGuard is a new VPN protocol, way faster and simpler than OpenVPN, without sacrificing security.
You can't use WireGuard if your ISP blocks UDP.
Please follow these steps to use the WireGuard VPN:
Create a key
You need a different key for each device. Skip this step if you already have an unused key.
To create a new key, go to My account > Services: VPN > WireGuard then click on “Create new WireGuard key”.
Download a configuration file
Go to My account > Services: VPN > WireGuard then click on “Configuration file”. Choose “automatic”, unless you have specific reasons to force a protocol.
Do not share your configuration file. It contains your private key.
Install WireGuard
Import the configuration file into WireGuard
Windows: Click on the WireGuard icon in the notification area, then click on “Add Tunnel”.
macOS: Click on the WireGuard icon in the system tray, then “Import tunnel(s) from file…”.
Android/iOS: Open the WireGuard app, press on “+” and choose “Import from file or archive”.
Linux/*BSD generic (command line interface): No import needed.
Activate the tunnel
Windows: Click on the WireGuard icon in the notification area, then click on “Activate”.
macOS: Click on the WireGuard icon in the system tray, then “arethusa_eu”.
Android/iOS: Open the WireGuard app and toggle “arethusa_eu”.
Linux/*BSD generic (command line interface): sudo wg-quick up arethusa_eu.conf
To de-activate: sudo wg-quick down arethusa_eu.conf
Once activated, check your IP addresses.
Notes
On Windows, only users members of the Administrators group can use WireGuard. With the
LimitedOperatorUI hidden setting you can allow members of the “Network Configuration Operators” group to start and stop the VPN.
